Aug 10 Kind vs Nice

I think there’s a difference between kind and nice. Sometimes, nice people are not kind because they want something in return. Approval, acceptance, money? I find that nice is not consistent sometimes. Or it’s contingent on something. Nice can be loaded, false, on the surface. Kind runs deep. Kind is authentic. Kind comes from a real, genuine, honest place. Kind is pure. Kind is consistent. Kind defines one’s character.

When you’re working on your non-negotiables and the kind of people you want to surround yourself with, make sure the word you choose is kind. Not nice.
